Man stole more than $250k worth of phones and tablets

Geoff has been working for the QT since August 2011 covering Ipswich’s rural areas. He started working for APN in January 2010 with the Chinchilla News in western Queensland after growing up on a grain farm. Geoff spends his time out of work watching far too much sport following the Reds, the Broncos and various American teams.

A PERTH man stole a quarter of a million dollars worth of phones and tablets from the telecommunications company he worked at and sold them online, police allege.

The Western Australian Major Fraud Squad charged a 38-year-old man with 40 stealing as a servant charges.

From January 2014 to October 2014 the man, from the exclusive riverside suburb Applecross, is alleged to have ordered phones and iPads, worth more than $250,000, under different client accounts which he kept and sold online.
